Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
Native Windows GUI
-
Which GUI toolkit for Rust today.. few questions...
On windows, I'll probably use https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui or https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs both of them seem pretty solid.
-
Rust: State of GUI, December 2022 – KAS blog
https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui isn't in the list but is quite a polished option for building Windows specific GUIs.

What's everyone working on this week (15/2021)?
Created a small resident windows program that shows a different icon depending on battery level test how easy using windows-rs and native-windows-gui is. Picked this as an easy learning project after seeing Battery Buddy for macOS.
-
WinSafe: Win32 GUI and related APIs in safe, idiomatic Rust - after 1 year and 5 months of development, first experimental version is finally here
native-windows-ui => https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui
-
The state of gui libraries in rust?
If you only need to support Windows desktop, then let me shill my crate: native-windows-gui. It's super lightweight and it wraps pretty much all the gui stuff provided by win32. Just note that isn't really customizable look-wise.
-
Can you make GOOD LOOKING GUI in Rust?
Maybe... would you consider this showcase to be good looking? But if you're looking for more eye candy UI, nothing come close to using a html/css with a browser based framework like Tauri.
-
What crates for a simple Windows app?
Assuming by "nw-gui" you mean native-windows-gui, that is by far the most user- and dev-friendly GUI library available for Rust as far as I know.

Will Qt support the Rust language by default? (just curiosity)
As an anecdote, the three top contributors to sixtyfps are ex-Qt people. I think it is not anecdotal that there is at least some degree of overlap and competition between Rust and C++, and that this is a market that surely The Qt Company is watching.
-
BeeWare – write Python, run as native everywhere
SixtyFPS (https://sixtyfps.io/) is in progress for Rust, but it is still early days. It also does not technically use a native toolkit (it uses Qt), but I believe that might be on roadmap. For traditional GUI apps, I think the lack of a table or tree widget is the most limiting for the time being. They have stated they intend to remedy that.
-
What are the best GUI libraries for a potentially “serious”/large project?
The most promising GUI hasn't been posted here, SixtyFPS. It's in it's early stages and not FOSS, but it's built by some ex-QT cats and has a lot of potential.
-
Is there a reliable and documented GUI library out there?
People have been recommending https://sixtyfps.io/ to me.
-
Is it worth writing a GUI toolkit in Rust?
There is already a project to make a Qt like GUI toolkit in Rust: https://sixtyfps.io/ It is really similar to Qt https://sixtyfps.io/releases/0.1.5/docs/rust/sixtyfps/index.html
-
Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
People are doing that too. https://sixtyfps.io/ is basically a Qt clone in Rust, actually developed by previous Qt developers.
-
I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small!
spdlog, a pretty useful and more and more commonly used logging library for C++.\ SixtyFPS, an emerging GUI library for Rust, but you can use it in multiple languages. It uses OpenGL or Qt currently as backend (well, it's a new library and they wanted two from the get-go to make sure their abstractions are done right/well enough). They started a company this year for it too.
-
Why I choose Electron even when I wanted to use QT
Just so some are not aware, there's a new project called sixtyfps by some people who were in the Qt world for long. I didn't take a deep dive into it but it looks promising.
-
State of Rust GUI in 2021?
https://sixtyfps.io/ have a toolkit with Rust with free and paid offerings. I haven't used it, but might be worth the look.
